Napoli striker Giacomo Raspadori says he's happy with the champions.

This season has been a struggle for the title holders.

But Raspadori told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Being here was a source of pride right from the start. Juve, Milan, Inter had looked for me, but I'm happy to play for Napoli, also due to the history of the players, I would only like to remember Maradona and Juliano, who wore this shirt.

"I am ambitious and I knew that this was the right place: after the magnificent time spent at Sassuolo, I needed to get out of my comfort zone, to fight for a Scudetto and in international cups.

"At the beginning it was strange, but here there is energy, you experience the joy of living and you perceive a passion for football which is feverish and true."
